Photo ID: 101130 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, December 31, 2006 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Denver, CO 2946 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific UP 900082, the rotary plow that UP keeps and maintains in Cheyenne, departs 36th Street on the point of the WDEDEF-31. The plow will help dig through some snow drifts on the plains to help rescue some crews that are actually trapped on their trains, stuck in the snow. Although the plow itself is powered by diesel-electric, there is still a steam-powered heat system to make sure all the equipment remains defrosted!

Burlington Northern leased all 100 units on a long-term basis. EMD 9000 to EMD 9099 are still on BNSF's roster twenty years after being delivered. Here, the last of the 100 units, EMD 9099, is seen through the supports for Park Avenue West near the house. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101098 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 9, 2006 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 38th Street Denver, CO 1907 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF When BNSF was first formed in 1995, the new railroad went through several experimental paint schemes while on the path to the eventual Heritage scheme. Most of these experimental or temporary schemes have been replaced. However, BNSF 2911 still wears a rather unique scheme. A slightly off-green paint was used to cover up the old herald and number. The unit is currently assigned as the Golden Switcher. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF still had a supply a reflective decals and they wanted to dispose of them by applying them to engines rather than simply throwing them away. BNSF 7728 is one such example.

Such is the case with UP 1349 which, up until May 16, 2005, was DRGW 3128. On this December morning, the unit was sitting alone on the ready tracks north of the fueling tracks.

A close second is the (very similar) scheme of the 100 "Oakway" SD60 leased to Burlington Northern in the late 1980's. Those units are still on the BNSF today, in relatively good condition!

Not as much power as there sometimes is at the shops, but a nice splattering of color anyway. This shot was taken from the Park Avenue West overpass.

Built in October 1971, it was delivered as Seaboard Coast Line 2041. Since then, it has been merged or sold to Seaboard System Lines 8941, CSX 8941, VMV 8941, MRL 8941 and IMRL 8941 before finally returning to MRL!
